Is it double glazed or is the rain straight onto the leaded lights ?

I've never seen a skip encapulated in a double glazing unit. Unique ?

 

Or is it like the advert in the local paper : "Wanted table for lady with Queen Anne legs"

I put the stained glass into a double glazed unit as it was a way to be sure of its integrity

Thank you  

[magnetman]

Nice. 

 

does anyone know why they are called dog boxes? It is a box for the dog?

Must say it looks good,

I really like it.

But I have to ask why not hide the screw heads?

[magnetman]

Also someone is going to mention air draft at some stage. It seems higher than the tiller pin. 

 

removable?

(reason for visible screw heads)

[beerbeerbeerbeerbeer]

I thought it a reasonable question

[magnetman]

I see you mean the internal screws. I was thinking about the setscrews holding the thing to the cabin top !

old boaters used to have everyday names for things  a Pigeon box was a box big enough for a Pigeon to fit in A dog box a box big enough for a dog to fit in

Yes, I never gave the exterior fixings a second thought.

Yes

some suggestions that on old ships there were extra cabins on deck where crew could sleep 'like sleeping in a dog house,' they had lifting flaps and bunks underneath. A separate room rather than light and ventilation for the main cabin. 

 

 

 

 

 

[beerbeerbeerbeerbeer]

Fair enough,

Like you say each to their own,

Id prefer them covered with wooden plugs,

Especially the ones that appear to be simply counter sunk 

Plugs are easily made from the off cuts, 

A simple attention to detail makes a difference. 👍

Did you make the double glazed unit yourself?

Or is encapsulating a piece of leaded stained glass something any double glazing supplier can do?

 I would think so mine did it but it cost more old church stained glass needed to be given some care but at least it was saved
